Abstract:
Limitations on the one-way phase-conjugation technique are described. These limitations are reduced or eliminated by reducing the spatial coherence of the light and by reducing the aperture of the imaging system. By introducing a suitable level of superresolution of the kind previously described as superresolution by incoherent-tocoherent conversion, the aperture and coherence reductions reduce the effect of the optical path inhomogeneities. However, the aperture reduction does not degrade the diffraction-limited resolution limit.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
